In SEBI’s terminology, the receipt of an observation letter means that the companies have one year to launch their IPOs.

Sai Life Sciences IPO Details

Sai Life Sciences, backed by private equity firm TPG, filed its preliminary IPO papers on July 29, 2024. The company plans to raise funds through a combination of a fresh issuance of equity shares worth Rs 800 crore and an offer-for-sale of 6.15 crore shares by shareholders, including TPG Asia, HBM Private Equity India, and promoter Sai Quest Syn.
